"Ordered" status in ServiceDesk Purchase Orders
After a PO has been approved, it would be great if an additonal status of "Ordered" or "Items Ordered" were available. I do POs a couple of hours per week, with the rest of the time spend on other tasks. We have enough volume now that it sometimes gets confusing which POs have been approved (with the order placed to the vendor and waiting for receipt); and which PO has been approved by my supervisor but is waiting for me to actually send out the order to the vendor. Any help would be appreciated!
Reports and Dashboards
I would like to see dashboards and standard reports that follow HDI industry recommendations for metrics and KPI's built into SD+. i.e. First Call/Contact Resolution, requests/ticket aging reports, etc. Thank you Bonnie
Date selection popups: it should be possible to specify Monday as first day of the week
I'd like to see an option in the Admin-Panel, where I can define "Monday" to be the first day of a week for in Date selection popups. It happens quite often, that out of behaviour, our technicians open a Date selection popup select the first row - thinking of that it's Monday. But as of now, the first row is Sunday.
Asset Scans - Last Successful Scan
I would like to recommend adding Last Successful Scan info along with the last scanned info for a given computer. Currently it tells me 'Last scanned Jul 17, 2010 12:15PM Scan Status: FAILED' Ok, but when was the last SUCCESSFUL Scan? 2 years ago? 1 day ago? I would like to see as follows: Last scanned Jul 17, 2010 12:15PM Scan Status: FAILED [Scan Now] Error: Either no response received from workstation. Probably the workstation might be switched off or does not exist. [Troubleshoot] Last
Separated groups of categories of solutions
Is it possible in the future to indicate if a solution-category is visible for the requester or not, just like notes. Example : All technician's use diagnostic programs, monitoring programs, etc. So it is not advisable that all those categories are available for requesters to have in their tree (because the solutions-category list will be very long) Thanks for your advise
Searchable Notes in SDP
We would like notes to be searchable. There is much valuable information that our technicians provide via notes and we need to quickly be able to locate certain requests. Please let us know if it is on your roadmap. Thank you.
Asset Import Scripts (Saved mappings) Where are they?
I am curious if anyone else would like the ability to save/retain the mappings used when importing data... We regularly add new assets to our inventory and retire others, usually in "batches", which can be as few as ten or twenty or as many as a thousand or more assets. The ability to save the mappings (as scripts?) would greatly expedite the process since (in our case) virtually every data load/update makes use of the same (for a given type of asset) data format. In addition to expediting the
Identify Multi-Core CPU Processor
Hi SDP Team, I would like to propose to have the multi-core CPU processor display in the SDP asset, so we can easily identify the core processor such as "Single" (1), "Dual" (2), "Quad" (4), "Hexa" (6), "Octo" (8), etc. Best regards, Raymond Tan
change requester
I would like that some users (i.e. admin) have the right to change the requester. This is very useful in this scenario: in our org. IT dept costs are split between other departments, internally, by the time spent on each task If an user from let's say "Facilities" is emailing us with a request of a user from "Marketing", which actually benefits of the request, "administrator" should be able to change the requester, otherwise "Facilities" will be charged instead of "Marketing". Thanks!
Add comments to state change
I would find it very usefull if I could add comments to the state change. E.g. if asset state is changed to "in repair" it would be great to have a comment field where I can add for instance the RMA number or other details. That way I wouldn't have to search through the tickets to find that information. Even better if it would be a required field - that way I can ensure our technicians have to enter information related to the state change. Currently if the technician forgets to open a ticket related
bookmark requests ...
Hello as a coordinator or an ICT manager, it would be very interesting to be able to bookmark some requests in order to observe the progress of the request. Marc
Ability to add graphs to Query reports
Could you look at the option of tying in the graph module with query reports. It would be so good to be able to create a custom report of various stats by month and then be able to show them in a graph WITHIN the application. Appreciate this is probably a big ask, but don't get anything unless you ask and atleast there can be an assessment of priority and demand for this as well. Regards, Andy
View Request CC
In many of the email requests we receive in SD+ have other people as CC or BCC. It would be nice to be able to view that information by default. Now we can only check that information by clicking "reply" and check if SD+ is using the CC field. Sometimes there are CEO's and even people that matter as CC. /lakend
Assign Asset with Business Rule
Is there a way the business rule can assign an asset? This could be very handy when e.g. a printer sends an e-mail to servicedesk with the error message. This printer could be automatically linked via the asset to the problem. At this moment, this is still a manual action creating time.
userdefined views
I'm not getting along with those userdefined views. The result is always wrong. I think my filter gets interpreted wrong, braketing would be helpfull... The filter should look like that Technican is not "2" AND Status is not "closed" AND subcategory is not "xyz" Has anybody an idea?
Ability to add to work log from a task
I have not seen a way to do this currently and thought it would be a great idea. In our organization the ticket owner can of course create tasks and assign to other technicians. The way it is now that technician has to open the ticket to be able to add to the work log. It would be great if that technician could open up their task and be able to append to the tickets work log directly from the task.
directly connect to devices using telnet or ssh and ping devices from Asset View
Hello 1) it would be very usefull to connect directly to network devices (like switchs and routers) via telnet or ssh by clicking on an icon (one for telnet, one for ssh) next to the assetname 2) for debugging purposes, it would be extremly interesting to be able to launch a ping towards the device by clicking on the IP-address of an asset. Best regards, Marc
Manually Asseting Software to System
Is there a way to manually assign a software license to a system? There are some systems that are either 1) unable to be scanned by ServiceDesk or 2) the software on the system is unable to be detected. This causes a problem when we need to know what system is using a certain purchased software. For instance, one product that we purchased is a plugin for another product. There is no way for ServiceDesk to pick up on the installation of the plugin, so the software shows as not installed even though
Auto-refreshing the Home tab
Is it possibe to have the Home tab auto refresh, as it is with the request tab?
Average Resolution Time
With the availability of resolved status.. is there any field which contains the resolution time of the request. This time should be calculated as difference of time from the ticket marked resolved to the creation time and only include the operational duration.
On Active Directory import: match field "Site" with AD-field "City"
We realized that on a Request import from Active Directory, one can only match the field "Site" with the AD-value "Office". This is quite wrong for us, because we use the "Office"-field for the real office number. I would very appreciate, if we could match on an import the field "Site" to the AD-value "City"! Is this probably already possible via a workaround? Because it would save us a lot of work...
Resolution & Technical resolution
We are having an issue where our technicians are entering a technical fix in the resolution field But the user is able to see the technical fix details and are attempting to action these fixes themselves Obviously there are some fixes that we would like to the requesters to attempt and some resolutions we would like to keep private and for the technician only Is it possible to incorporate a technical resolution field in addition to the resolution field that the requester cannot view ?
Colour indicate Technicians
It would be good be good if you could colour code individual technicians, so they stand out more.. we recently got rid of our job allocating paper card system and replaced it with a screen showing the Service desk request page. Just need technicians to stand out individually... Can you also colour code unallocated requests? So unallocated request are red until they get assigned?
freeze all SLA's
I would like to see an additional feature added to SD that allows all SLA's to be put on hold at the same time in the event of a catastrophic incident occurring - furthermore, all requesters should be notified when this happens by a global message and then again when normal SLA's are resumed. Currently you can only put requests on hold on an individual basis.
Requester to close own incident/service request via self service portal
Hello, I would like to suggest an enhancement that would enable the requester/user to be able to close their own incident or service request via the self service portal. I understand they can close it once a technician has resolved it. But we would like the functionality for the user to close it prior to a technician resolving it. Thanks Joel
Attachments via API
Anyone have any idea how to attach files to a newly created request via API or programatically?
Preventive Maintenance
Would it be possible to have the option to have First [day] of Month and Last [day] of Month as options for configuring Preventive Maintenance? For example, we change our Monthly Backup Tapes on the last Friday of every month however to set up a regular Preventive Maintenance isn't possible since this date changes month to month. Thank you.
Details in Notifications
I have notifications setup to send me a notification when a user replies to a ticket. That works but I can't figure out how to get it to send me the details of the notification itself. Rather all I get is, "someone replied to your ticket". What I want to get is "someone replied to your ticket and here is what they said." I'm sure this is a setting but can someone help me find it?
Want to be notified when giving req to another user, or just subscribe to req!
Hi When a user makes a request, it will often first be assigned to first level, and then go on to 2nd level. However, when it is assigned to 2nd level, 1st level will no longer be notified when something happens with the request. Is it possible somehow for the 1st level technician to mark a request and subscribe to it, or is there any way the technican can keep on getting updates about the request ?
Changing the PO number
Hi all, Are we able to change the PO number. i.e. Can we put say IT in front of the number? Thanks Martin
Need new columns in Purchase Order Table
Hi, I would like to know how do I add new columns in the Purchase Module next to the "Items" in the tabular section (not in the General Section) eg.. Sno Items Item Description Part No UoM Qty Price I believe we can edit/change the related database/tables & add the the above two fields/columns. Its like a show stopper for our purchase dept. Appreciate some solution or alternate for this issue 'asap'. Regards, Subhani
headers within request templates
I would like to see an additional feature added to SD that allows headers to be created within the request templates and also allow grouping of new fields - similliar to the box around the "Requester Template".
Help for requesters
Hi I'd like to be able to add help into the request templates for the requesters... a simple ? button next to fields that when clicked opens up some text set up by the sytem admin. Would be useful for things like priority and request type as these are concepts not all people instantly understand. Cheers Steph..
paste screenshots directly in to description filed
I would like to see an additional feature added to SD that allows users to paste screenshots directly into the description field of the request similar to what is already available when submitted via email. Currently, when submitting via the web portal requesters have to attach this as file which is time consuming and not very user friendly.

Adding Multiple Licenses to one Piece of Software
Morning Guys & Gals, I'm pretty sure I can't do this but want to check. We have a piece of mining software that has 10 named licenses. However within these named licenses are two categories for different uses which have 5 named licenses each. What I would like is the ability to apply the 10 licenses as per usual to 10 installations of the software. However I would also like to apply another licenses for the sub-category to the same piece of software. Diagram incase that was confusing:
can i change the date format in sdp
Hi, All date shown in sdp 7020 is like "06 Aug 2009, 12:03:45", is there somewhere i can change the format of date? you know i am in asia, people here does not think this type of date very friendly, someone even does not know what Aug means. I guess SDP is coded in Java, so i donot think this is a big issue here, i remember there is java class called Local just to deal with this kind of issue. the ideal date format for me is sth like 2009.8.06, 12:03:45, or to be better, with chinese or korean
Tech Availability Chart must be controllable via Role permissions
As mentioned alread in this thread, it should really be possible to control via "Roles" if the "Tech Availability Chart" in the Scheduler is visible or not. This should not simply be a Admin-only functionality. This is something important in the Operating area and not something relevant for an administrator of the Service Desk!
Error scanning asset - Workstation refers another Object
When manually scanning an asset I get the following error. FAILURE :One of the attribute of the Workstation refers another Object which does not exist. Hence cannot add this workstation I have come across this post, but it is not specific to SD+: http://forums.manageengine.com/?ftid=49000002688581 Other assets are scanning in ok. What can I do to correct this problem.
